Betcha Didn't Know...Today is the Day I Kick off the Extreme Twilight Giveaway!

*****COMMENTS ARE NOW CLOSED*****

Yep my luvlies, today the Extreme Twilight Giveaway gets under way!

I'm perched in bed with my laptop on a pillow on my lap (laptops get damned hot, why is that?  I could heat a small home with the amount of heat this thing gives off!), my corned beef brisket is set to boil on the stove, the cabbage leaves have been separated and are ready for a quick dunk right before we sit down to eat, the potatoes and carrots are ready for a bath with the brisket a little later, the green beer has been procurred (well OK no one "procured" anything...I committed a cardinal sin and the Stella Artois Gods will probably smite me for it, but what the hell!) the Leprechaun Cake is baking in the oven and I am ready to give away some stuff, some great stuff.

Oh and guess what?   Come on guess.    I'll wait.

Can ya guess what it is?  No?  It's OK I'll tell ya anyways.   I'm giving away not ONE Extreme Twilight giftpack, but TWO!   I'll sit here and wait whilst you go check out this post and take a look at all the goodies you're going to get.

Are ya back?  Are ya ready to see whatcha have to do to get it?  It's easy. I promise.   The title of this post even gave a great big fat hint away too. 

All you have to do to enter is leave a comment on this post, then go out to your own little home on the web and write a post telling us all something about yourself that you bet we didn't know.  It can be anything...from the fact that you can put lipstick on without using your hands - a'la Molly Ringwald from The Breakfast Club (one of my FAVOURITE movies of ALL TIME!), or that you sing opera, or secretly love to read trashy romance novels.  Or perhaps you want to get deeper than that.  That's cool too.  You don't have to.   Just something fun, silly and something that you don't think any of your readers knows about you. Somewhere in the post link back here to Barking Mad.  Then come back here to this post and link up your post in the Mr. Linky section that will be up as soon as I get this posted.  See?  Easy peasy lemon squeezy.  OK so that sounded pretty cheesy. 

Let's review:

• Leave a comment on this post.
  
• Write a post titled "Betcha Didn't Know...." 
  
• Tell us something we didn't know about you. 
• Link to Barking Mad in your post. 
• Come back and link up your "Betcha Didn't Know" post in the Mr. Linky area at the bottom of this post. 
• Come back and see what other goodies everyone else is revealing.
  
• Contest starts today and ends Saturday March 21st at 11:50PM EST.  Winners will be announced on Sunday March 22nd at 6:00AM EST. 
• Contest open to U.S. Residents only...sorry about this.  I wasn't hooked up with other region DVD's and the one's I'm being provided with will only play in NTSC (most US) DVD players.
  

Of course, I have to include the fine print...

Void where prohibited...which really is just my fancy way of saying that if I've had sex with you,  you gave birth to me, if I gave birth to you,  if you are a sibling (rivalrous or not), or in any, way, shape, or form related to me, nanny nanny boo boo, you can't enter the contest.

See, that's not too painful is it?   My own "Betcha Didn't Know" will be up on Thursday.  I need to clear it with the hubby before I do.  Of course I'm not eligible to win my own contest which sucks because I haven't yet pre-ordered my own copy of Twilight.  But what the hell, I have a couple of juicy secrets I'm willing to spill all in the name of blog fodder.  And no, I don't sing opera in the shower and I've never been able to put on lipstick with anything other than my hands....Thank God! 

By the way, what the hell ever happened to Judd Nelson anyhow?  I had a hardcore crush on him, back in the day!

HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY!

So fabulous Auds!
Thinking of my "Betcha didn't know..." right now. I would love to win this!

I love the Breakfast club!

[HappyCampers]

Oh what FUN!!!! I posted my info...can't wait to check others' pages!!

[Ylla]

[Kim]

Oh that sounds like heaven to me. Hmm is there anything I havent shared about me after all this time. I'll have to dig deep.

[Andi Fishlock]

Breakfast Club! One of my favorite movies!!

Since I have an unnatural and totally unreasonable fear of vampires, I don't know if I really want to win the prize pack....hey that could my thing you don't know about me!!

[Auds]

Oh but Andi, these vampires from Twilight are good, doncha know. They are vegetarian vamps! Nothing scary about them. They are to die for! Literally!

[SuzieQ]

Love Breakfast Club also..

[Brans]

Here ya go Auds, I've included my link to M&Ms (titled Brans) but I am going to be working on the layout for a while, it's a new non-anonymous blog so it needs some work.

[Karelle]

Ooh look at me! I'm in way before the deadline! Must be the prize... Or that I love talking about myself. Maybe it's both.

[Brans]

Honestly, I get that fluttery heart feeling when I think about Twilight *lol*. Now that's the sign of a good book/series: when you totally fall in love with the characters and can feel the love between them *sigh*

I've GOT to start spending more time with DH *lmbo*

[Megan R]

This is a great idea! I didn't have anything to post, so this is great. And, ooops...Molly Ringwald was really wearing my diamond earrings in that movie. I let her borrow them and she gave one to Judd Nelson. I was so mad at her! Last diamonds I ever will lend out!

[Natalie]

Betcha didn't know that I read this blog since I don't think I've ever commented before. ;)

[crystal adkins]

Sorry had to fix my post I had to retitle it Betcha didn't know and now the link is up to your site, I didn't put the codes in right so now it is all good :) I would fall over with excitement if I won!! I have this huge obsession with vamps and have not seen the movie or read the books yet... personal things at home kinda prevent that:)
